Pearl Jam: 20-years anniversary

As all the fans head to celebrate 20-th anniversary of Pearl Jam, Jessica Letkemann prepared a very nice book. This is her note:

There is so much more to the story of how Pearl Jam formed than has ever been shared. To uncover it, I interviewed Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Chris Cornell and other key players, I dug up original 1990 Pearl Jam artifacts and hunted down rare audio, I triangulated dates and gathered every fact.To celebrate Pearl Jam’s 20th Birthday, I’m proud to present the fruits of over 10 years of exhaustive original research.Brew a pot of coffee, fire up your printer, and prepare for a long, engrossing read in unprecedented detail about the events of 1990, the year that a series of magically wild coincidences brought together the unlikely group of people that became Pearl Jam.HighlightsDiscover the amazing events of 1990* Ed’s long-lost band with a member of Rage Against The Machine* The Mother Love Bone riffs that survived to become Pearl Jam classics* Eddie explains making “Momma-Son”* The true story of Ed’s TWO “first weeks” in Seattle with Mookie Blaylock in October 1990* Cornell talks Temple of the Dog, and Stone divulges the Pearl Jam fan-favorite that almost had lyrics by Cornell* Stone, Jeff, and Eddie recalling the first show, first song, and first weeks* Much, much more
